Honestly the 2004 reboot did age quite well for a SciFi show. No need to reboot it again just now.
So say we all.
Their space combat with proper inertial physics was really awesome. Loved that show, despite the flawed ending.
Oh my god, it’s 20 years old?!
You mean visually? Because both the 9/11 stuff at the start and the religious stuff at the end have aged pretty horribly, honestly.
I refuse to acknowledge it has been 20 years since the previous.
fun fact - even if it got greenlit for pre-production today, the third BSG would be released about as long after the second ended, as the second came out after the first.
I’m torn about this reboot of a reboot. On the one hand, the BSG reboot is one of my all-time favorites, although the religious overtones lessened my enjoyment. And just like another of my favorites, Star Gate, they now are in the talks to get a reboot. On the other hand, a reboot is about the only way we will get more from either franchise.
See, the weird religious pivot entirely ruined it for me, to the point where I can’t tolerate even the good bits. But also, that is the case so much that I don’t want to engage with a re-reboot anyway, so I’m weirdly in the same place.
I watched both shows growing up. They are like very different from each other. I would be curious how another reboot would change it up.
Good. It did not need to exist.
BSG was fine back in the day, aged terribly.
Galactica 1980 wasn’t even good in 1980.Reboot was excellent. Put a pin in it. Do something new.
Someone makes a cool original TV series.
Hollywood: what franchise can I shovel this director onto?
